2880But when mine eyes did in my breast enthrone
Her—her of whom hell cruelty may borrow.
This is the height of woe, death, and diseases,
Nay, hell itself to this comparèd pleases.
Yet stay, say Neptune's palace shall be land,
And this firm ball of earth a liquid brack;
Say the North Pole with Phoebus shall be tanned,
And to the South the lilies shall be black.
Say this, and more, before thou dare to say
Bellama is Màboun' or Mà bellà.'
